Bolivia Raids Homes Looking for Millions in Cash Taken From Plane Wreck Site

Bolivia’s security forces have raided at least 22 homes near the site where a military plane carrying millions of dollars in cash crashed last week, seeking to recover banknotes stolen after the accident.

At least 24 people died in the crash, most of whom where in vehicles in an avenue near Bolivia’s El Alto International Airport, one of the country’s most important terminals. The plane was carrying newly-printed bank notes totaling 423 million bolivianos ($62 million) for Bolivia’s central bank.
